As part of the NOTE D’ESTATE festival, which brings music to the villages of Baveno’s hamlets, a concert by the band I Belzeblues: a journey through time – a respectful and grateful tribute – to discover a powerful and universal form of musical expression.

To speak of the Blues is to speak of everything that Black Americans have endured, but it also means speaking of the malaise pervading our era – which many call ‘the age of anxiety’ but which might perhaps also be defined as ‘the century of the Blues’;
